Working on the theory of a single serial killer may be working in the New York area, the police found three additional sets of human remains Monday, bringing the total number of bodies found in the area to eight. It is believed that most of the remains are female and that some of the women were working as prostitutes. Currently the police have no suspects in the crimes.

A former suburban New York police sergeant already serving time behind bars for stealing money from Hispanics during traffic stops has pleaded guilty to additional charges.
Scott Greene pleaded guilty Friday to felony grand larceny and misdemeanor petit larceny charges.
The 52-year-old is expected be sentenced in May to a term concurrent with the 1-to-3-year sentence he is already serving. The 25-year police veteran was convicted of separate larceny and official misconduct charges in January. A jury in that case found him not guilty of more serious counts, including hate crime charges.

His lawyer conceded Greene took $100 during a sting but said he never targeted Hispanics.
